Toyota Sells One-Millionth Certified Used Vehicle
September 19, 2003
Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., announced the sale of its one-millionth Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV), making Toyota the first single-line manufacturer to reach the million-vehicle sales mark with a certified used car program.
A 2002 Toyota Camry was the one-millionth TCUV sold. Toyota celebrated the one-millionth milestone by presenting a refund check today for the amount of the Toyota certified used Camry to Jeff and Tiffany Borden of Phoenix, Ariz., who purchased the car from Camelback Toyota in Phoenix.
"In addition to the refund, the couple also will receive a 100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty from Toyota Financial Services (TFS) and three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance at any Toyota dealership," said John O'Malley, General Manager of Camelback Toyota.
Toyota also is making a matching cash donation of more than $22,000 to the local Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix.
All 1998-2003 model-year Toyota vehicles with less than 65,000 miles are eligible for the certified program. For each vehicle, the certification process begins with a check of its Vehicle History Report. Each vehicle then receives an 160-point quality assurance inspection of all mechanical, appearance and safety features prior to sale. All Toyota Certified Used Vehicles are backed by a 6-year/100,000-mile factory powertrain warranty.
